Update

Updates are regular revisions of programs and add-on modules carried out on a periodic basis within the product maintenance.

These are, for example:

Extension or improvement of the features of the programs and add-on modules

Correction of the detected or reported bugs

The updates are generally subjected to a charge and the costs for the updates are covered by active service contracts of a product group, and are automatically provided in your Dlubal Account. If you do not have an active service contract, it is possible to purchase the updates separately, if necessary.

Upgrade

An upgrade is an extensive refinement or new development of programs or add-on modules. In this case, substantial parts of the program or features are renewed or added with a considerable development effort.

If you already have an add-on module that has been renewed, for example, RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro has been released for RF‑/FOUNDATION, you have the opportunity to upgrade. The upgrade is chargeable, but cheaper than a new purchase.
